The sterile drone of the city hospital fades into silence as the elevator doors part on the second floor. Dr. Kim Taehyung, newly minted from his residency and dressed in a starched white coat, moves into the dimly lit corridor. His heart thuds violently against his ribs, a stark counterpoint to his controlled expression. He stops before room 203, the file for his first patient, Jeon Jungkook, feeling like a lead weight in his grip. The air is dense with unresolved tension and the sharp scent of disinfectant. Through the glass panel, a motionless figure is visible, absorbed in the pages of a book. Taehyung draws a steadying breath, his fingers pausing above the door handle, unaware that the quiet inside the room is not vacant, but poised and waiting.
